A	True
B	False
C	Either A or B

Detailed explanation-1: -The hypothesis is an educated guess as to what will happen during your experiment. The hypothesis is often written using the words “IF” and “THEN.” For example, “If I do not study, then I will fail the test.” The “if’ and “then” statements reflect your independent and dependent variables.

Detailed explanation-2: -A hypothesis often follows a basic format of “If this happens then this will happen.” One way to structure your hypothesis is to describe what will happen to the dependent variable if you change the independent variable.

Detailed explanation-3: -An “If… then… because” statement in a hypothesis tells the readers what you believe will happen in an investigation when something is changed, so you can see the effect of the change.
